the question is, though, is it all sandy related? let's bring in herb greenberg and jan nippon. jan, it is so easy to blame the weather but in this case, is it justified? >> well, the weather was a problem and the long calendar is a problem. i think the weather was less of a story than the long calendar. when you put two extra selling days in front of christmas in december, it has to come out of somewhere. it will come out of early december, but if only one-third of it even comes out of november, it's about a 400 basis point hit to sales. so i think most of what we're seeing here is early november had two warm of weather in one-third of the country, a great hurricane in one-quarter of the country and the consumer said i got plenty of time, i don't have to really go out and spend so we had a really slow front end of the month. we'll get a lot of that back in december. i'm still predicting a great christmas. >> we have two themes on this show -- panic now or everything's fine. which one is it for retail? >> everything's fine. >> it's a "rise above" pin. >> do these drops in the sh

>> i think hurricane sandy had an impact in the first week, ten days in the northeast. when you speak to kohl's they were weak across the country. you could say it's part of the election results. i think there are just issues that are there. i think it was just disappointing. fw again, it's a long holiday season. the hope is, and hope and prayer is you're going to have a better december. i think some of them will. what you want to look at, even though the department stores were all negative today, a lot of the apparel retailers were positive. 5%, 10%. that's a positive sign. >> quick comment on tiffany. huge miss. stock's a mess. is this company specific or is it luxury that we need to watch out for? >> i think it's, "a," it's company specific. i think it's luxury you want to watch. if any consumer is watching this fiscal cliff, it's really the luxury customers. it's not the american eagle customers. the american eagle customers think fiscal cliff is really a rock climbing event. >> steve, good to have you on the show as always. >> thanks a lot. >> murph, what do you do

hurricane sandy was directly in his district so he made some comments about it. he said that the damage was worse than first anticipated. that's something we've been talking a lot about. original number was $50 billion. it's in the $70 billion to $90 billion range. it is probably going to shave a quarter to half a point off gdp. you talked about the fiscal cliff which he says congress and the president must address. he says because we're at the zero balance, interest rates were zero, the effect of the fiscal cliff is getting much worse than if the fed were not at zero. >> because they could do something. >> the only positive thing which dudley did not talk about but it is something that's on the radar is that, as the fiscal cliff fears rise, interest rates fall on the 10-year. so the effect the fed would have from easing is already in -- already happening as a market reaction. >> steve, thank you. >>> when jeff kilburg is not fired up about the irish he is fired up about what mr. dudley said today. why? >> absolutely. he came out with very dovish comments. he las

any sense anecdotally or your sense of store traffic as to what sandy's impact was? >> i think it was a drag for most retailers. we heard from kohl's sax, that it was a drag. also the tiffany flagship store represents about 8% of overall sales. so expect to hear the sandy excuse certainly as same store sales roll out and as well from tiffany. >> especially in a year when you expect the push pushes them into the black for the year, actually all the discounting really starting to hurt retailers' bottom lines? >> that's the question. this year discounts were so heavy. so is black friday really turning in to red friday. typically it signifies the beginning of when retailers start making money. but you saw that the promotions were crazy. there were televisions at best buy for under $200. that was a 50% discount. walmart was guaranteeing in stock on ipad 2s giving away a $75 gift certificate. so the question is are they just giving away sales here. >> and that will be something to watch when we he get those figures, too, whether it reflects discounting as much as it does v
